cashier

Checkout counter employee

A cashier is a person who handles payments at a store, bank, or other business, receiving money and making change.

The word also functions as a verb meaning to dismiss someone from a position, especially in disgrace: The officer was cashiered for misconduct.

This sense carries connotations of formal discharge with dishonor, used particularly in military contexts.
